They said it emerged from conversations with their daughter “that she hates and condemns racism and anti-Semitism”. “However, she is not an activist. She is not a member of La France insoumise. If she was targeted” by Mr. Rieu, “it’s because she’s our daughter”. “Howeverthey continued, expressions which were attributed to her by Mr. Rieu, she must answer, like all litigants, before the courts. In this regard, it does not enjoy any privileges or privileges. We respect the current procedure”.
